17 Jan 21 UTC Spring, 825: Greetings!
21 Jan 21 UTC Autumn, 825: I've always wondered why players save when they could ready. Many reasons have been suggested. So why do people save but ready when it comes to builds? Do they confer with others the whole time? Are they not sure, and change their mind several times? "army, fleet..no, army...no, fleet! That's it, fleet! still......"
21 Jan 21 UTC Autumn, 825: "save but not ready"
21 Jan 21 UTC Autumn, 825: Actually, that's a good question. Moves, I can understand, but builds?

It could be due to diplomatic deals about builds, but I feel like those aren't common enough to be the only reason.
21 Jan 21 UTC Autumn, 825: I have readied
21 Jan 21 UTC Autumn, 825: Well, I can imagine that, if in the fall unexpected things happen somewhere on the board, that people like to discuss the implications before they ready their builds..
21 Jan 21 UTC Spring, 826: also, some people may have not put any orders in yet at all
21 Jan 21 UTC Spring, 826: Good points
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Guys, can we maybe pause the game?
My mother was unexpectedly brought into hospital, and had surgery. She's recovering and it seems ok, but I've got to take care for things a couple of days.
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: GameMaster: AngloSaxons voted for a Pause. If everyone votes Pause the game stop and wait till everybody votes Unpause. Please consider backing this.
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Fair enough, I hope everything stays ok or better!
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Sure, hope she gets better soon
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: ^that's a much more eloquent way of putting it
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: yes, pause
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: I've paused, I hope everything works out!
02 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Thanks all! It's not life-threatening any more, but the game pause for a few days is still very welcome
03 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Sorry, I can't seem to pause when I'm on my mobile, so I had to wait until I was back at my computer.
06 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: When do we want to unpause?
06 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: GameMaster: Norse voted for a Pause. If everyone votes Pause the game stop and wait till everybody votes Unpause. Please consider backing this.
06 Feb 21 UTC Autumn, 828: Anglo Saxons asked for a pause.
Usually what I do is try to get everyone else to accept an unpause, then wait on the person who orchestrated the original one.
